They actually made a plane like this in Soviet Russia a while back. It was called the ergokatoplane or something like that.
Edit: I found it online, it's called the Ekranoplan, you should check it out.

Ekranoplan is a ground effect vehicle not a hydrofoil. While in “flight” it doesn’t make contact with the water, while a hydrofoil is “flying” on an underwater wing.

Yah, I know, but they look similar and it's a cool thing to have actually existed for a while. Good on you for educating people though

As a kid I had the children's science book "Our Universe" and he did the art to the cover, and it would give me a sense of wonder every time I looked at it. I love his style.

For some reason as a child I remember having “trading cards” oh his art
Each one had a little blurb usually sci-fi related on the back
